According to officials, raids were conducted at nine sites, including areas in Handwara (Kupwara district), Rafiabad (Baramulla district), as well as parts of Kulgam and Srinagar.
This is the latest development in the NIA’s ongoing probe into what investigators have described as a “white-collar” terror module, originally exposed by the Jammu and Kashmir Police.
Petitioner Dr Pankaj Pushkar sought a day-to-day trial in the case and a direction to the probe agency to file monthly status reports before the court-appointed oversight committee.
The four accused were taken into custody by the NIA in Srinagar, Jammu & Kashmir, on production orders issued by the District and Sessions Judge, Patiala House Court.
The move to hand over the probe to the NIA came after two back-to-back high-level security review meetings chaired by the Union Home Minister Amit Shah.
